502. I need You every hour

1 I need You every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like Yours can peace afford.

Refrain:
I need You, O I need You;
every hour I need You;
O bless me now, my Saviour!
I come to You.

2 I need You every hour: Lord stay nearby;
temptations lose their power when You are nigh. [Refrain]

3 I need You every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is vain. [Refrain]

4 I need You every hour; teach me Your will,
and Your rich promises in me fulfil. [Refrain]
